Oh Crow- a Poem In Thy Name

The story of the thirsty crow, heard during school days as we grew... How best in it its wisdom used, to quench its thirst that summer day An efficient use of available resource, to realise a fruitful purpose.. A display of prowess in its fullest sheen, a situational managerial skill ! Relating crow with intelligence is not just a random chance factor Research has already proven that- This ave is witty and wiser! Strong in memory,mimicry and understanding humans as well.. How well this bird integrates in our life with its adaptive behavioural skill!!! Elegant black and beautiful dissolved in it every shade... Leads a gregarious life, Shares its food, whenever it finds, with its kith and kin... Spreading a message of joy in sharing and a cordial social life!!! Chooses a single partner all its life, Builds its nest, feeds the young, Protects and nutures them with love .. Family values and responsibility, I wonder how it plans and executes so well!!! Corvus brachyrhynchus- this is its scientific name... Genus corvus has in it species numbering forty American crow, hooded crow, house crow.... List stretches in continuity! Oh crow! You have your place in every walk of life! Research, religion, ritual, Mythology, folklore, cultural... Irish mythology sees in you- Morrigan, God of death and birth Hindu religion regards you as their departed ancestor! Tibetian buddhists associate you with Mahakala Omens of you are believed to bring signals from the uncanny world! You are treated as a connecting link in the cycle of birth and death! Oh darling crow! Cheers to you! This poem in thy name!
